Description

A standard in fall and winter endurance jerseys

Eurobike 2013 Award Winner

Based on the short-sleeve jersey rigorously tested by Rapha riders at Paris-Brest-Paris, the long-sleeve version has been created for endurance rides where additional visibility and storage are important but where extra insulation is required. It has three large cargo pockets, as well as a zipped ballast pocket for carrying the hi-vis Brevet Vest and/ or an extra jacket.

The front of the jersey also has a zipped chest pocket for carrying a brevet card. Designed specifically for riding in low light, the jersey has two high-visibility stripes around the chest, one in pink, another in a perforated white Schoeller fabric. Other visibility details include a reflective armband on the left arm and reflective tab on the back of the jersey. The jersey is highly breathable and versatile enough to be used from autumn through to spring.

Simply the bestOn a recent ride in Whidbey Island, WA, it started out cool and wet, around 48F (9C). I was only slightly cold at the start, and quickly warmed up, as did the temperatures. The ride was 56 miles (90km) with 2,400' (730m) of elevation, which was still a bit strenuous for myself as a new rider (< 6 months of cycling).
By noon, it had warmed up to around 70F (21C), with full sunlight. When our group stopped for lunch, someone asked me "Aren't you burning up in that thing?"
Well, the answer was no. In fact, I hadn't even thought about it.
To me this kind of experience tells me that Rapha products are worth the price paid. Unparalleled comfort and style. I own nearly every color of this jersey, and I'm starting to get to the point where I only wear Rapha gear.
As a new rider, I find that being comfortable on long rides AND looking good really seem to help propel my desire to ride more.
Rapha products fit me better than any other brand I've tried. I can buy a LARGE in Rapha anything, and it will fit perfectly.

Consistent quality. Very pleased.Consistent sizing and quality yet again. Happy to always order the same size on jerseys and jackets and know they’ll be spot on. The sale price was a good saving too.
My first long sleeved jersey and I was worried about how tight the sleeves might be but they were pretty perfect- not too tight and not too loose.
Lovely design and plenty of pockets for phones, money and other items.
Only worn once so too early to talk about the life of the item but all other items have been very good before.
The extra services they offer is also a nice touch with repairs and replacements etc etc.

My Favorite Jersey!I even use it in hot weather, it does just fine.
- fit is SO comfortable but not loose. Hugs the body but just rightly so.
- material is plush
- many pockets (altough I never get to use the front pocket)
- gracefully works against a cafe backdrop

Great long sleeve jerseyI received this a week ago and have only worn it on one ride in a real feel of -2 degrees. The top looks superb and is nice and warm and fits snug. It look really cool on and off the bike at the coffee shop - zip is different to the PT tops i have but certainly not inferior. Pairs great with the Brevet insulated jacket

Lovely bit of kitOrdered it on a bit of a whim. Wore it on a fairly cool day. Perfect. Didn’t need to undo the zip either as I warned up. Looks even better in the flesh than the pics.

Luxurious feelBeautiful long sleeve. Luxurious feel like the Rapha jerseys of old. Good length. I'll tall and skinny and many jerseys are too short for me in the body and the arms without upsizing. Sizing works well for me (medium on a 187cm, 64kg frame), not aero but not relaxed either!
